Gimic's New Traditions LP lands on 3 July through Drunken Sailor Records with a title that could almost serve as a manifesto for punk itself. New traditions are what scenes build when the old rules are too dead to keep and too useful to ignore completely. The Bandcamp tags place the release in a charged Bristol/UK lane: budget rock, anarcho-punk, garage, hardcore punk, no wave, post-punk, powerpop and punk rock. That combination suggests music with both historical memory and enough immediate shove to avoid turning into a museum tour. Gimic sound like they understand that punk tradition is not about preserving a fixed style. It is about preserving a method: compression, urgency, community, politics, distortion, bad manners and a refusal to let the guitars sit too nicely in the chair.
